Postcard from West

It’s always a little bittersweet for me to work on a documentary project for months and then have it published. But tomorrow, a portion of my work will be published on the folks who’ve been dealt such a tough hand by the fertilizer plant explosion. The Bohannan’s, Seith’s, and Kolar’s exemplify the strong community spirit that is the pride of West, and through it all — the deadly blast, bulldozed homes, sweltering heat, cramped quarters, and mountains of paperwork — never faltered in their resolve to rebuild their lives. That they allowed me to be part of their lives, in their worst moments, is something I will never forget. See their journey in Sunday’s paper.
